The Brotherhood of Wesnoth 0.9.0 [1.9+]

[uncleshelby]

This is the thread made for me to receive feedback for "The Brotherhood of Wesnoth" A single-player campaign. It is almost complete, with no bugs. It follows the path of Edry, a Longbowman for the Royal Army, in his path to thwart a evil necromancer's plan to rise to power... But he must make some hard decisions in the end.

Story

Scenarios 1 and 2:

Spoiler:

In the year 283 YW, an army leader named Edry, is honoring one of the largest alliances in the history of wesnoth, by giving a gift of gold to the Dwarves. They force you out saying Edry killed their king. While returning, Edry is ambushed by Trolls, who also say that Edry killed their king. He sees a ghost say "Excellent, things are going just as planned." (or something of the sort) Edry flees and returns.

Scenario 3:

Spoiler:

Edry returns, and for messing up such an important yet simple task, he is demoted to a commander in the small town of Carcyn. In Carcyn, he is attacked by three Ancient Lichs, and at the same time meets a red mage named Elzar who suspects that a necromancer somewhere has been trying to start a massive war of all races, from which he will be able to create hundreds of servants.

Scenario 4 and 5:

Spoiler:

Elzar, the red mage Edry meets, suggests that they go to the elves to find out what they think of this. On the way there, Edry is attacked by gruesome floating eyes. Edry kills them, and after 2 weeks of traveling through a forest, he finds elves, but the elves are being attacked by Orcs. The Orcs are blaming the elves for killing a chief of their tribe (each one a different chief), and Edry has to defeat them. With the help of elves.

Scenario 6:

Spoiler:

Edry, Elzar, and the elf (Arlavend) begin to travel to Elensfar. The stop for the winter in some remote plains in between Carcyn and Elensfar. They are attacked by a Shadow and a Wraith, who say "You know too much." You have to defeat them.

Scenario 7:

Spoiler:

Edry, Elzar, and Arlavend arrive in Elensfar, and begin to talk to the king (Haldric III) about how they are going to find the necromancer causing all the trouble, and kill it. After a few days of this, an Orc arrives, saying that he was on guard duty in his village, when he saw a ghost enter the tent of his tribe leader. He runs in, yelling, and find a human knife in the now dead body of his leader. Most of his tribe accuses the Humans, but this Orc says he knew, and gathered a small band of people to help him alert the Humans before the Orcs attack. After he says this, 2 Orcish Warlords appear, and Edry has to kill them.

Scenario 8 (Not implemented, Expected in 0.6.x):

Spoiler:

a few days after the battle with the Orcs, Edry is still talking with the king on how they will find the Necromancer. As they are talking, a strange-looking necromancer appears in to the north-east. Everyone looks at him, and while the are looking, the king is stabbed. he is not killed, but hurt badly, and poisoned. The Strange Necromancer is near enough that this should make the scenario harder. As whatever unit is about to lay the final blow on the necromancer, it casts some transportation spell and disappears. He then appears behind the king and kills him. The Necromancer flees to the north.

Scenario 9 (Not implemented, Expected in 0.7.x):

Spoiler:

Edry, Elzar, and Arlavend chase after the necromancer. This scenario is where you must move Edry to the northern side of a long map. There is fog (maybe shroud, too) and you have to avoid getting attacked by the various level 3 undead scattered around the map. (Is this too much like "Hide and Seek" in Liberty?)

Scenario 10 (Not implemented, Expected in 0.8.x):

Spoiler:

Final battle.

Scenario 11 (Not implemented. Expected 0.9.x):

Spoiler:

Epilogue.

For 1.9x only, due to some wml.

[Battlecruiser_Venca]

For which version of wesnoth is it?

[uncleshelby]

It is on the 1.8 server, and I'm working on porting it to 1.9.

[Battlecruiser_Venca]

scenario "The Brotherhood is Formed" ends after first turn

EDIT: and monsters too

[uncleshelby]

Alrighty, I think I got that fixed. It turns out I accidentally used the map for the scenario "Monsters!". I have no idea why that happened.

Thanks for the Feedback!

[uncleshelby]

Just released version 0.2.2 on the 1.8 server, and 0.2.1 on the 1.9 server!

[uncleshelby]

Just released version 0.2.3 on the 1.8 addons server! See above for changes.

[uncleshelby]

Version 0.2.4 out! See above for changes.

[yuniko13]

thanks uncle shelby!

[uncleshelby]

I take it you like my campaign?

I'm trying to hold in my excitement!

EDIT: New version, on the 1.9 and 1.8 add-ons servers! 0.3.1!
EDIT 2: New version 0.3.2! Totally amazing, yet the changes are disappointing! On 1.9 and 1.8!

[Great_Mage_Atari]

Not a bad campaign. I was a tad bored with the first scenario in general (just not a lot of new concept in general). But, overall, interesting.

[uncleshelby]

Do you have any suggestions on making the first scenario more entertaining?

[Great_Mage_Atari]

Add another REALLY small team. Like add a goblin camp in the middle with one or two recruitment hexes. This way, some attention is diverted from your forces and your leader can use the keep later to get an advantage.

[uncleshelby]

Version 0.4.0 out now! Get it on 1.9 and 1.8!

Changes here.
